[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 09/97] HID: core: do not scan reports if the group is already set

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.13.11-ckt38 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9578f41aeaee5010384f4f8484da1566e2ce4901 upstream.

This allows the transport layer (I have in mind hid-logitech-dj and uhid)
to set the group before it is added to the hid bus. This way, it can
bypass the hid_scan_report() call, and choose in advance which driver
will handle the newly created hid device.
